Amanda Jane Daley is a business mentor for health coaches and I’ve been aware of her since early in my own health coach studies journey, as she seems to be the “aspirational” or most premium business coach for health coaches. Her lead product is a premium-priced mastermind which is a group training program for health coaches to learn the tools to build their business.

While I don’t necessarily agree with the marketing approach – using a $5k month promise – I do believe Amanda is an excellent trainer, a smart marketer and I generally agree and align with most of the philosophies and techniques that she teaches. For example: starting ‘lean’ or low cost and getting to know your ideal client.

I am keen in 2016 to interview some of the leaders in the wellness industry – not just business coaches like Amanda, although there will be some of those because it gives you access to the very best coaches for free! But also entrepreneurs who are hitting and kicking their revenue goals in the wellness sector. I want us all to see what’s possible and learn from these examples.

And so I invited Amanda onto the podcast to talk all about the nitty-gritty of building a health coaching business. Her tips and insights will be relevant for you whether you’re a health coach or a chiropractor – it’s all great stuff.

Quotable Quotes

“People are more awake now and looking for solutions to their health… people are wanting this information and people are in pain and they are struggling with their health more than ever and we know that but the problem I see is as health coaches having the business education to know how to get out there and sell that.”

“I live and breathe the mindset, the spiritual and emotional work”

“I’ve got such a purpose or a drive to help women really free themselves of everything

that’s holding them back. To me it’s not even about the money or the business at all, it’s about stepping into the woman you are meant to be, the woman you are born to be.”

“From a money and wealth perspective value is value. People pay for things they value but it also comes from self-value.”
